How Often Should You Upgrade Your Refrigeration Units?
Your business depends on refrigeration units. Whether you have one unit or 100, you have no doubt wondered, “How Often Should You Upgrade Your Refrigeration Units?” Elite Refrigeration Services, LLC has answers. Our trained service technicians can inspect your equipment and develop a maintenance and service plan to keep you cool.
Upgrade Your Refrigeration Units Before They Break
Ideally, the time to upgrade your refrigeration units is before they break down. While it is impossible to plan for every contingency, you can implement a viable replacement plan. Not only will this protect your assets and offer you peace of mind, but it will save you money in the long run.
Elite Refrigeration specializes in keeping your equipment operating at peak efficiency. Our commitment to customers includes making appropriate and timely recommendations for equipment upgrades. Sometimes an upgrade may be as simple as a new and improved temperature control unit. Other times it may be a complete replacement unit.

Our recommendations will include the benefits you can expect from new equipment. While we sell and install refrigeration units, Elite Refrigeration will gladly work with the equipment that you have in order to upgrade it where feasible and cost-effective. There is no set-in-stone policy for when you should upgrade refrigeration units. Variables include factors such as the way they are used, the age of the equipment, manufacturer, and how well equipment has been maintained.
When equipment is too old to maintain adequately to avoid breakdowns, it should be upgraded. When refrigeration units are costing more in maintenance and energy they are no longer working for your business. Even if the units still keep your warehouse cold, operational costs should be a consideration for upgrades.
Maintenance and Service to Extend Your Equipment Life
Developing a plan for routine maintenance and service of all your refrigeration units can aid in extending the life of your equipment. At Elite Refrigeration, our highly-trained and certified technicians develop custom service plans for each of our customers. They will evaluate your business, check all your equipment, talk to you about your business, and determine a schedule of maintenance, service, and equipment upgrades.
Some of the upgrade options for your existing refrigeration units may include:
— Replacing shaded pole motors with new EC motors and EC motor controls
— Installing upgraded temperature control modules and probe adapters
— Replacing inefficient door curtains to keep cold air where it is most needed
— Adding night covers on open display units
— Replacing heat-producing incandescent lighting with LED or fluorescent lighting
